And, I was just given my grandmothers sewing stash which includes fur collars she would save and re use. Hmmm... Maybe with the popularity of your blog, vogue would think about re-issuing some of the patterns featured in this book.Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12637498432307668019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-10509378540254867542011-09-20T08:41:03.503-04:002011-09-20T08:41:03.503-04:00I was just given about 50 + (I lost count) vintage...I was just given about 50 + (I lost count) vintage patterns from Vogue to patterns I never heard of before!

There was an art to putting it on, wearing it, taking it off. Also the sweet mystery of what was under the coat. The anticipation of the reveal. A new dress or an old favorite? So many good memories seeing my parents friends &amp; family walking form the curb to the front door wearing beautiful coats, gloves &amp; hats. Gertie, can&#39;t wait to see your creation, it will be one of the best with those wonderful fabrics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-6978571799682312702011-09-14T13:51:56.450-04:002011-09-14T13:51:56.450-04:00This is going to look amazing!
